resident Joe Biden used former President Donald Trump's town hall interview with CNN as an avenue to tout his 2024 reelection campaign.
Trump on Wednesday night appeared on CNN for the first time since 2016, as he was interviewed by CNN anchor Kaitlan Collins and responded to questions from crowd members about his third presidential campaign. Much of the interview centered around topics such as Trump's continued 2020 election loss denial, the January 6 attack on the U.S. Capitol, the E. Jean Carroll trial and the discovery of classified documents at Trump's Mar-a-Lago home in Florida.
Trump had previously expressed worry that the interview could become a "disaster" for all, including himself. The former president has often bashed CNN, but Wednesday night was an opportunity for him to appeal to voters in New Hampshire- one of the first states to vote in the election- who are undecided about their 2024 support.

But it didn't take long for Trump to criticize Collins when she pressed him on certain topics, such as calling her a "nasty person" when she questioned his possession of classified documents at Mar-a-Lago.
Biden alluded to Trump's performance - which consisted of sidestepping many of Collins' questions - in a tweet published shortly after the town hall ended.
"It's simple, folks. Do you want four more years of that? If you don't, pitch in to our campaign," Biden tweeted, accompanied by a link to a donations page for his reelection campaign.

CNN should be ashamed of themselves.
They have lost total control of this “town hall” to again be manipulated into platforming election disinformation, defenses of Jan 6th, and a public attack on a sexual abuse victim.
The audience is cheering him on and laughing at the host.

Thank you for posting that... Lol... It’s a good way to start off the day. :)
Oh no!
I looked!
It's a DISGUSTING group of TOTAL LOSERS!

” (though he strikes me as a quiche eater).”
I’m thinking large sausage.
“AOC didn’t seem happy.”
If the looney left is ticked off about it in general (and it appears they are) you know Trump had a good night.
Sorry... Joey the retard can only mock and deride. He spent his career doing exactly that. Along with whatever else what he was told to do. Biden is utterly devoid of original thought.
You may be being generous by about 3 hours.
She looks like she’s highly compensated. /s I suppose that’s all NewsWeak can afford.
“Betcha CNN had ratings they’ve never seen before. I couldn’t bring myself to watch it.”
Why not? Trump is an able sparring partner. The left will misinterpret, so what? The left misintetprets just about everything. Trump is savvy, not slimy.
Yes I would like 4 more years of Trump policy. But can Trump stand 4 more years of them throwing the kitchen sink at him. Would they impeach him twice again or leave him alone if he wins and just let him get USA going again. Imagine a secure border and cheaper gas and food prices. Not giving our money away to a war that has nothing to do with us. Yes please.
The things Trump is being accused of biden actually did. Didn’t biden get accused of sexual misconduct by a bunch of women. At one point before nominations in 2020 women came out saying all kinds of things, even pelosi said he hugged her and she felt creeped out. Another is Reade who wants to go in front of congress. He gets the nomination and it’s never talked about again by media. Not long ago they are finding open boxes of classified documents lying around his garage. And other places. He was not in power when he obtained them so he can’t declassify them. That’s stealing classified documents. His own people turned him in because they didn’t want to take the heat. No FBI raid. They let his lawyers round them up. Talked about 1 day and gone the next. The media being able to hide all this is actually scary considering he can’t even talk for 2 minutes without all seeing he is fading.
I’m looking forward to watching Keith Olberman’s reaction.
He’s quite demented, and it is educating to observe his raging demented rants.
Kind of like Kamala calling a prostitute a whore...
Enjoy prison Biden.
Biden didn’t watch
If I’m not mistaken the Lincoln Project guys were NeoCons. They basically appeal to war profiteers and Trotskyites
Lying articles which claim the appearance involved only the topics the media wants to talk about.
I watched him brilliantly dissect the Biden administration on a dozen or more topics throughout the night.
According to these liars the event only involved topics which are considered negative towards trump.
Well, careful about your conclusions.
I’ve been convinced since Biden’s ComDem nomination acceptance speech that who you are watching is not always Slo Joe. And I am convinced there are more than one Not Joe’s who step in to perform.
Yes. I am totally serious.
Joe Biden’s speech? (Acceptance Speech) (Aug 31, 2020)
https://www.nytimes.com/video/us/100000007316521/biden-pittsburgh.html
Is this a body double? The speech and delivery is NOT Joe Biden.
Not even sure the photo is. Note the facial features below the nose. Much younger man?
We saw something similar during Hillary’s campaign. Remember?
The irony is that Trump was allowed massive media access originally because the left in the media saw him as a non-serious candidate who could be easily beaten by she-who-must-not-be-named.
Does this mean there’s going to be another FBI raid? Will there be F-16s and nukes this time because Joe Biden or his handlers are worried. Trump not allowing himself to be set up by CNN has got to be insurrection, you know. I would expect him to be charged or sued for something because the set up didn’t work out the way they expected.
